The Scene Around: 2015 PBA Philippine Cup Finals Game 7

1/22/2015 2:43:31 PM

Looks like that ­­Wednesday evening was the wildest so far. Well, you couldn’t blame me for bragging that one out since it’s just the start of the year yet.

Especially at the local pro basketball scene where two teams went over the limit in one of the most historic finishers in the league we know as the Philippine Basketball Association.

The scene was set at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum, and 22,511 attendants (including yours truly) and millions of watching spectators via TV broadcast coverages and live streaming on the internet, witnessed Game 7 unfold in their eyes.

Three Quarters

This is how the Alaska Aces won the championship of the Philippine Basketball Association’s second conference of its 38^th season, more known as the Commissioner’s Cup: They started the game strong, and finished the game strong. And I am not talking about those dazzling crossovers that starts the run of a basketball highlighted reel, and emphatic slam dunks that are more known to the sports commentators as “finishes strong,” huh?

Three games are quite enough to win it all, but believe me – three quarters in that same number of contests really dictated the series’ tempo, all in the favor of the Uytengsu franchise.

Gatas O Gin? (Just My Opinion: 2013 PBA Commissioner’s Cup Finals)

11:42:30 AM | 5/15/2013 | Wednesday

Gatas o Gin? Ito ang matimbang na tanong sa ngayon, dahil Game 1 na ng PBA Commissioner’s Cup finals ngayong gabi sa Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Ayos. Parang classic rivalry noong 90s lang ha? Noong panahon na nagkaroon ng Grandslam ang Alaska at ang kaharap nito ay ang.... *drumroll, please?* ang crowd favourite na Ginebra, may mala-Twin Tower na line-up sa pamamagitan nila EJ Feihl at Marlou Aquino. Mantakin mong ang isa sa mga mas matayog ang lipad nun ay si Johnny Abarrientos?

Pero fast forward tayo sa 2013.
